Hotel Analysis
Based on 4 sites · 1,069 reviews
This is an adults-only love hotel in Kyoto's Arashiyama area. Guests frequently mention that rooms are spacious by Japanese standards, featuring large beds and Japanese-style bathrooms with separate shower and bath areas.
Reviews across sites praise the staff's shuttle pickup service and friendliness. Pickups to stations or tourist spots, plus morning sandwich breakfasts, get positive nods. Quiet surroundings, daily cleaning, and ample bathroom amenities are also highlighted.
However, the old building draws complaints about lingering smells, mold, and spotty cleaning. The door lock system requiring calls for entry/exit is inconvenient, and without a car, it's a 20-minute walk to the nearest station.
